rshell
- Only way I can connect to micropython through serial connection is Arduino IDE
- VSCode - Micropython - Pi Pico (non W)
- MicroPython officially becomes part of the Arduino ecosystem

use pico without thonny ide
If you don't want a GUI, you can use rshell which was written for the original Pyboard and the very first MicroPython implemention. It is a simple tool that can copy files in/out of the pico filesystem, and gives you the REPL prompt too.

Raspberry Pi Pico w/ Python Working
inside pythonsdk, it recommends using either Thonny or rshell. Since I was pretty sure Thonny was gonna take a lot of work, I tried rshell; however it seemed rshell was gonna to work rshell issue. I was looking around for alternatives and landed on ampy.

CircuitPython – The easiest way to program microcontrollers
CircuitPython is a fork of MicroPython, and they periodically bring in commits from MicroPython to stay up to date.
One advantage of CircuitPython is that your board gets mounted as a volume like a USB drive, and you can just copy code.py onto it to install your program; it's just a more user-friendly experience. For comparison MicroPython only exposes a file system through a tool called rshell[1], that you need to use to copy code over. CircuitPython also seems to have a lot more libraries due to Adafruit's investment in this ecosystem, although I suspect that most of them could easily be adapted to work with both.
